Greetings,
There have ben several instances of this in my wnHTML coding which
required me to cut and paste large sections into a new document.
One of the possible problems were that I was editing the documents
between the text editor I had available at the time I wanted to edit.
Subsequently, one document would be created in Word, edited in pico or
simple text and back to word. Along the way, I think I picked soemthing up.
Is this tru with your scenario?
Hope this helps,
Matt
